What is Your Middle Name?

[Donk Yore]

and do you like/use it?

[MissHoneychurch]

1. Charlotte

I don't like it and I don't use it. In German that name sounds very hard.

[grace0418]

68. LOL! Your screen name is MissHoneychurch and your middle name is

Charlotte (I happen to love that name BTW)! Do you have a brother named Freddie? :)

We actually named our little green Civic Charlotte. I keep thinking of the movie lately because our Charlotte as been buried in snow and ice for the most of the winter. Every time we walk outside and look at her, we say "Poor Charlotte!" in our best English accents.

[Drunken Irishman]

2. Michael.

Named after Saint Michael. I don't use it much, unless I need to.

[Ariana Celeste]

3. Marie

I like it okay, it goes smoothly with my first name

[reformedrepub]

5. I can almost hear your moms voice

Ariana Marie!!!

[Ariana Celeste]

12. hehe

i go by ariana for the most part, but my birth name is lena

i think its a good fit, lena marie.

ariana marie sounds good too though, doesnt it? :D

[reformedrepub]

19. yeah it does...

[NC_Nurse]

95. That's mine too.

:hi:

[reformedrepub]

4. Sean

If you knew the rest of my name...It sounds like an Irish Name book.

[MissHoneychurch]

7. I like the name Sean

:D


:hi:

[reformedrepub]

8. I like your name 2

Fraulein.....

[MissHoneychurch]

11. I like name 1 better

:D

[reformedrepub]

9. I like your name 2

Fraulein.....

[Donk Yore]

13. Name 2 is ok

[reformedrepub]

10. I like your name 2

Fraulein.....

[reformedrepub]

15. I like your name 2

Fraulein.....

[reformedrepub]

17. what the hell

was that multi posting thing going on there...

[grace0418]

70. My first and middle name are Irish. My last name is Greek.

It's an odd mix.

[Manifestor_of_Light]

6. Yes, I use it instead of my first name.

One of those weird people who hate forms with FIRST NAME - MIDDLE INITIAL - LAST NAME.

It was real common in the 1950s.

[GirlinContempt]

14. Emily.

I don't use it, but I don't dislike it.

[Roon]

16. Lee, same as my Grandfather's middle name

I like it because my Grandfather uses it to ID himself.

[SeattleGirl]

20. That's my middle name too.

It was also my mom's middle name.

[Roon]

21. Cool! eom

[supernova]

124. Lee is my middle name also

It fits well with my first name and as far as I know I'm the only one in the family with that name.

[fizzgig]

25. that is my mother's as well

it's spelled lea, but pronounced the same

[elshiva]

18. Ann.

A great, great name.

[hippywife]

39. That's mine, too.

My first name is unique enough, or so I thought, that I've never had to use it. Until I married my husband and found that his brother's wife's first name is the same as mine. It's not all that common so it was kind of a weird coincidence.

[huskerlaw]

81. Another Ann here

I actually tried to get people to call me Annie when I was little. Then I wanted to change it to Anne (which I still prefer, but I"m over it).

I like Ann, but even when combined with my first name, it's SUPER short.

[Cabcere]

96. That's my mom's name.

:) I like it, too. :hi:

[latebloomer]

117. Anne

with an "e", after my Irish grandma, Annie Flynn.

[BuddhaGirl]

119. Mine is Anne

my mother's is Ann, SIL is Anne, niece is Anne.

When I was younger I didn't care for it but now I like it! :hi:

[ChickMagic]

150. Another Ann reporting

I liked it so much I asked my parents to call me by my middle name,
but NOOOOO. Here I am stuck with something awful when I coulda,
shoulda been Ann.

[ghostsofgiants]

22. Mikael.

I am fond of it. Never use it though, I just go by my first name, unless I'm feeling pretentious, then I'll use First Middle Last.

[Tektonik]

23. Ahmad

[Spirochete]

24. John

Every home should have at least one. As far as middle names go, it's OK, but I hardly ever use it.

[fizzgig]

26. elizabeth

when combined with my first, it's an extremely common name. but i think my middle name is quite nice

[laylah]

40. hey you!

:spank: Nothing common about your name and it is beautiful, just like YOU and your Grandma Peanut before you! :hug:

[RubyDuby in GA]

55. Another middle name Elizabeth checking in

And yes, I like it.

[Guava Jelly]

27. Charles

and yes

[sarge43]

28. Mae

No, I avoid it as much as possible.

[NMDemDist2]

44. that was my grammy's middle name and she used it exclusively

she hated "Lily" which was her first name.

[sarge43]

60. Oh, oh

That was my grandmother's middle name, too. Her full name was Maudie Mae and thank God Mom stood firm. She split the difference; first name is her mother's and middle, Dad's mom.

[jmm]

62. Mae's also my grandmother's midddle name.

My mom wanted to name me Melanthe Mignon because she liked the sound of it but my dad won and I got named after his mom Jessie Mae.

[TBreeze]

113. That's my mom's middle name

I like it, but she never uses it.

[radfringe]

29. only use it if I absolutely have to, don't like it

and I'm not going to tell you what it is

[qwertyMike]

30. None

I was born in Ireland.
You were lucky if you got 2 names.
My birth Certificate says Michael Lindsay, but I apparently was Baptized as Michael David Lindsay, which holds no legal significance I guess.

Gave my son the middle name of David.

Mike

[krispos42]

31. Pos

Kris Pos Fortitu

:evilgrin:

[TZ]

32. Elise

I don't use it. But oddly enough, the big test I run in my lab that I have oodles of experience in is called ELISA. Elise does ELISA.
I thinks its funny.

[Mutley]

33. Marie

A weird little tradition in my family is to give the first girl the middle name Irene, and the second girl the middle name Marie. Third and fourth girls are out of luck, I suppose. :o

And fifths... you don't wanna know. :scared:








:P

[NewWaveChick1981]

34. My middle name is my maiden name. Before I got married,

my middle name was my mother's maiden name. :) Family tradition and all...

[NMDemDist2]

43. I, too, use my maiden name as my middle name now n/t

[Cabcere]

97. My mom's middle name (before she got married) was her mother's maiden name as well.

:) I think it's kind of a cool tradition, actually. :hi:

[johnnie]

35. Francis

My father wanted that to be my first name and mom said "no way!" so they put it as my middle. I added Xavier for my confirmation and I use both.

[KamaAina]

87. With an 'i', dammit!

:-)

Similar story. Recent Catholic convert Mom wanted Francis X. KamaAina, but the Protestant grandparents exercised the veto, so it was demoted to the middle name.

Pity. The 'X' would work rather well for me...

edit: was

[FunkyLeprechaun]

36. Like the guy who said his middle name is Sean

I'll have to decline saying my middle name because my first name and middle name are totally Irish. I only use my first and middle name if I meet someone who has my first name, which very rarely occurs.

I love it though!

[DarkTirade]

103. Other people with my first name are incredibly rare...

and I still don't use my middle name even when I encounter them. :P

[terrya]

37. William

It's ok.

[meegbear]

38. Stephen ...

My parents first child was named Stephen Michael; he died when he was 8. I was their last child and they named me Michael Stephen. The weird part is that I looked exactly like him growing up, even seeing pictures of him and asking when they took that picture of me.

Life is so strange.

[Qanisqineq]

41. Lynn

it's just kinda there. nothing special. I use the initial once in a while.

[TBreeze]

108. same here

I occasionally use the L, that's about it.

[NMDemDist2]

42. Lee and yes/no n/t

[nadine_mn]

45. Erika - from Erica Kane on All My Children

No lie, my mom had high hopes for me in 1972 - for me to become a diva who married often. No diva and only the one marriage (so far....)

[MissMillie]

46. Alice

and yes, I use it all of the time... people call me Mary Alice, and my family calls me Alice. I have twin. She and I have the same first name, so I use my full name, and she uses a shortened form of her middle name.

[kentauros]

47. Harmon

I do like it, but as it's primarily a last name (my mother's maiden name,) I don't use it.
But in recent years I finally made the connection with it and the words "harmony" and "harmonic".

[crim son]

48. I am

Anne Lisa Lynn P. and go by Lisa, so I guess I do.

[zanne]

49. Therese....."eh"...

[trof]

50. Sanford. No.

[SallyMander]

51. Rose

Named after my grandma... i love it. :)

[VenusRising]

129. You have a gorgeous name!

I really like it!

:D

[SallyMander]

142. Thanks darlin!

I thought it sounded sort of stuffy and Victorian as a kid... but now i like it. :D


Now the big decision is, do i change it when i get married??? :think:

I'd always assumed i wouldn't... then i had a phase thinking it would be kind of a fun adventure... now i'm leaning back towards keeping my name. Of course Iza is no help. "Whatever you want, sweetie, i don't care!" ;)

[VenusRising]

146. Men are so much help, aren't they?

Zodiak was the same way. I just loved him and I knew that's what I wanted.

Whatever you choose will be right for you, and that's all that matters.

:hug:

[SallyMander]

148. Maybe we should both go with Mander-Sparrow

:rofl:


:hug:

[VenusRising]

149. or Sparrow-Mander.

It sounds good both ways.

:rofl:

[kedrys]

52. I don't have one

French-Canadians don't really get into the whole middle name thing, eh. :P

[fight4my3sons]

53. Hayley

Did not like it as a kid, but now like it.

[azmouse]

54. Sue

I never use it.

[BeachBaby]

56. Eh. It's okay I guess.

When my parents got married, they were both Elvis freaks. So when they found out my mom was pregnant, they got all excited and were thinking up names for a boy or a girl. Boy would be easy (they'd make him a Jr.); but for a girl, they were open to ideas. Well, Sonny and Cher were expecting a baby, and Elvis and Priscilla had just had their baby. My parents decided that I too, would be Lisa Marie - you know, because naming their baby after Elvis' baby would put them in "cool" category. :sarcasm:

Well, turns out that one day my dad was driving home from work when "Michelle My Belle" was cranking on the radio. It was a huge hit, and both my parents were huge Beatles fans. It was Valentine's Day 1969 - the day I was due to be born. My dad got home, ran it past my mom - who by this point didn't give two shits what I was named, she just wanted me OUT. My dad called my grandma, and she loved it, and they all came up with my middle name together. So my Beatles name was combined with "Lynne".

I like it okay, I guess.....I'm not complaining. They could have named me Chastity.

[theredpen]

57. I have two: Stuart and another one that requires a Unicode character

F-ing Anglocentric titles can't contain Unicode. Feh.

Doğan

The "ğ" is soft, so my 2nd middle name is pronounced "dowan."

[Rob H.]

58. Derek

I like it but don't use it. (It means "power of the tribe"--how could I not like it?) I'd like to switch to using it instead of my first name, to be honest, but I suppose that'll have to wait until my next job.

[ThatsMyBarack]

59. Paige.

I sometimes just use my middle initial when scrawling out my signature.

[Jamastiene]

61. First name: Rusty

Middle name: P.
Last name Shackleford

just like Dale Gribble on King of the Hill

Actually, not really. :P

[1gobluedem]

63. Vaughan

My grandmother's maiden name.

[1gobluedem]

64. Delete - dupe

Accidentally clicked twice.

[DS1]

65. Danger

[SOteric]

73. Tsk. Your middle name is 'Snark.'

Your "I just scarffed 4 buckets of chili" name is Danger.

[Coyote_Bandit]

66. I am called by my middle name

I despise firstname, middle initial, last name forms.

[TommyO]

67. I don't have one

Can somebody loan me theirs?

[Ekirh]

69. Leslie

I don't use it, don't dislike it though.

[ceile]

71. Elizabeth

Family name

[unpossibles]

72. Paris (a family name) and yes I use it sometimes.

Although I am mad that a certain ***** ruined the name temporarily.

[DarkTirade]

106. Kind of like the guy in Office Space...

named Michael Bolton. :)

[unpossibles]

118. exactly! (nt)

[momto3]

74. Lynn - after my Mom.

I think most girls born in the 70's have "Lynn" as their middle name. I never use it.

[NightWatcher]

75. Ellison- a family name

[racaulk]

76. Aaron

[racaulk]

77. .

[mahina]

78. Maliekuuipo

I like it, but I don't use it.

[JVS]

84. Is that a Suomi name?

[KamaAina]

86. 'A'ole. 'Olelo Hawai'i .

The "ku'uipo" part means "my sweetie", just like in "Aloha 'Oe". She left out the 'okina and threw you off by about forty degrees of latitude. :-)

Oh, and aloha kakahiaka, E Mahina! :hi:

[mahina]

90. nope, Hawaiian.

[billyskank]

79. James

I don't like it very much. I don't like my family name either. I do like my first name, which is a good job I suppose.

[AirmensMom]

94. That was my dad's name.

I think it's a good name.

:hi:

[Iggo]

80. Don.

And I use it all day, every day. It's my first name that I don't use. Never have.

[JVS]

82. It's ethnic. I use it in the Old Country. When my name is on a list, nobody knows I'm foreign

[IronLionZion]

91. Come on. Share it with us.

[JVS]

92. I'll tell you what. Someday we must have a DU meetup for SW PA

There I will be happy to reveal the name.

[IronLionZion]

83. George

and yes I do use it sometimes. My 3 names are the first names of America's greatest presidents (Washington not Bush of course)

[JVS]

88. Franklin George Abraham?

[IronLionZion]

89. close

I'm not giving you my name though.

[LiberalEsto]

85. Irene

Isn't that dreadful?
I think my parents picked it because it means Peace and they were WW2 refugees.

[baldguy]

93. R

That's it.

[BuddhaGirl]

120. does it stand for something?

my brother's middle name is is just two initials, RT. Stands for my father's first and middle names.

[baldguy]

122. Nope

[triguy46]

98. Kent. Hate it. Always have. I can live with K.

[no name no slogan]

99. John

After my dad. My dad left my mom and I when I was four, so I'm a little ambivalent about the name. I don't use it much.

[KitchenWitch]

100. I have two middle names

I like them both.

[ironflange]

101. walter

yes damn it my middle name is walter

i hate it
but it was my dads name so i wont ever change it

i never use the name
but i use the w all the time

[DarkTirade]

102. I don't use it.

Don't like to share it that often. :P

It is a very kingly name, but also very... british. (despite being of welsh origin)

Much like my first name, but my first name is easier and has only one syllable.

[geardaddy]

128. Llewelyn?

Owain?

lol

[DarkTirade]

131. Hell, I'd prefer those...

at least they're interesting. :P

[geardaddy]

132. Those are the only

Welsh king's names I know.

[DarkTirade]

135. Think something more along the lines of a king of all Britain. :)

[geardaddy]

137. Right!

Gotcha! ;)

[Fleshdancer]

104. Joy. I love it. eom

[Xipe Totec]

105. Enema

Er... I mean N.M.I.

It stands for No Middle Initial.


Seriously, I am middle name impaired.

[redwitch]

107. Anne

like/don't use

[blockhead]

109. T

I don't have a middle name, just the letter T.

Matthew T

[jgraz]

110. Vincent, after my grandfather

I like it and use it on "formal" stuff. Every Sicilian should have a "Sal" or a "Vinnie" somewhere in their name. ;)

[x-g.o.p.er]

111. It goes with me to the grave

I hate it.

HATE it, I tell you.

[jgraz]

143. All a bad middle name says is "my parents were dumb"

No need to feel bad about it.

[LostInAnomie]

112. Danger

Alright, it's Patrick.

[madrchsod]

114. miller-my mom`s maiden name

[stuntcat]

115. Bronwyn

It used to be my email until someone sent me a big photoshop file and crashed my hotmail. Now I use Yahoo but I had to get a different name x(

[geardaddy]

130. Love the name Bronwyn!

:hi:

[stuntcat]

147. hey ty!

I have my Mama to thank! :D

[Greylyn58]

116. Carolyn

The only time I ever heard it was when it was used in conjunction with my first name. Usually meant I was in trouble for something. :)

[BarenakedLady]

121. Joan

It was my aunt's (now deceased) name. I always use the J when signing my name.

[geardaddy]

123. Bennett

I don't use it, but my girlfriend does.

[BrotherBuzz]

125. NMN

I never use it, although I sometimes use NMI on some documents just to muddy the water.

[hisownpetard]

126. I don't have one. My parents couldn't afford it.

[VenusRising]

127. It was Lee before I got married.

I always hated it and thought it was the most uncreative middle name and spelling for a little girl.

When I got married I changed my middle name to my former maiden name.

So now, my middle name is Dominique.

[asdjrocky]

133. E

My parents were very poor, and they could only afford a letter.

[Ikonoklast]

134. Stalin

Just ask my kids.

[EnviroBat]

136. Lee, and all of my family calls me by that name, and some close friends too.

[Debi]

138. It used to be Joan - but then I married Mr. Debi and changed my middle name

to my former last name - and I'm not putting that out on the internets...:P

[SOteric]

139. Andrienne Emilia Ave Maria Theresa

[GenDem]

140. Jean

and I hate it.

[MrsMatt]

141. Esther

after my dad's favorite aunt (she was long deceased before I came along).

I only use it in formal documents, as I now use my maiden name for my ordinary middle name.

Signature is first initial, middle initial, maiden last name, married last name.

[MilesColtrane]

144. Clinton

And, no.......no relation to them that I know of.

But it would be cool to be a relative of George Clinton.

[Scarlett17]

145. Michelle

And I use it. It's the only name I've ever gone by. I was six before I found out it wasn't my first name. It's a Southern thing I guess--your first name is after someone else and your middle name is yours. It is a pain in the a$$ with work, doctors, insurance, credit cards, anything official. Not fun. It does help weed out telemarketers on the phone, though.

:crazy:

[WinkyDink]

151. Erin. I like it better as an adult than before. I use only the initial.

[Hand]

152. Elhanan--after my great grandfather.

He was apparently named either Elhanan or Elkanan; so to make sure we had the old guy covered, my uncle named one of his sons Elkan.

I actually did use this as my last name when I published a book pseudonymously!

My nephew and his wife were going to use my name for one of their sons, but changed their minds when they remembered that you're only supposed to use dead relatives' names, and it would have implied that they wanted me dead. :rofl:
